Mayor Makes Two Hole-In-Ones In Same Round Of Golf

SAN CLEMENTE, Ca. -- Murphy the Mayor was awfully happy to make a hole-in-one during a recent round of golf. So, moments later, he did it again. Murphy, 60, got the first one Tuesday on his third hole of the day, the par 3, 17th, as he played in a Beach MayorsTour event at Shrecliffs Golf Club in San Clemente. His second came on the par 3, 10th. The odds of making two aces in the same round are 67 million to one, according to the National Golf Foundation. "I hit it well, it faded a little right, bounced, then rolled and hit the pin. We all heard it, but I was not sure if it went in until I got to the green," Murphy said of the first hole-in-one. He used a pitching wedge from 120 yards. He used a four wood from 190 yards for the second ace. "It hit on the front of the green, rolled up, hit the pin and went in. We could not believe it," Murphy said. Murphy finished in fourth place. Murphy got the aces with the same ball. He said he didn't think about putting it away after the first. After almost losing it a couple of times, he had it in his pocket. "I don't think I'll use it again," he said.

Unfortunately the Pitch-n-Putt Miniture Golf Course where he hit the 2 holes-in-one has asked the Mayor not to return as you are only allowed to use a PUTTER on their course.
